Old Dan Tucker Songtext

von Suzy Bogguss

I went to town the other night
I hear the noise and see the fight
Everybody was jumping around
Saying Old Dan Tucker's come to town

Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get the supper
Supper's over and dinner cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin

Old Dan Tucker came to town
Swings the ladies all around
First to the right then to the left
And then to the gal he love the best.

Dan began early in his life,
To play the banjo to win a wife,
But every time he'd company keep,
He'd play himself fast asleep.

Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get the supper
Supper's over and dinner cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin

Old Dan Tucker came to town,
Riding a billy-goat and leading a hound
The hound dog barked and billy-goat jumped
Throwed Dan Tucker right straddlin' a stump.

Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man,
He washed his face in the frying pan,
He combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
And died of a toothache in his heel.

Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get the supper
Supper's over and dinner cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin

Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get the supper
Supper's over and dinner cookin',
Old Dan Tucker standin' lookin

Get out the way, get out the way
Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get the supper.
